May I answer Deputy Boyd Barrett's question? The bigger problem is that while I can access the position of the institutions and can get reasonable information, I do not know what the Greek position is, because many of the Greek statistics are fictional. That makes it very difficult, if one does not know the position of the interlocutors. There are always two sides when creditors are negotiating with debtors. That does not mean there is no goodwill and that the interests of Greece as a whole are not being taken into account by the institutions, but both sides have to give.
